Only the goalkeeper or the acting goalkeeper (AGK) may legally play any ring that is on the goal crease line or entirely inside the goal crease. Alternately, neither the goalkeeper nor the AGK may move a ring into or onto the goal crease when it is entirely outside of the goal crease.

If either of these rules are broken, play is stopped and the ring is given to the non-offending team.

In the above image rings 1-5 may only be played by the goalkeeper. Rings 6 and 7 may be played by any player, but the goalkeeper may not bring the ring inside the crease.

Congratulations to the Eastman Flames U14AA team who brought home the silver medal after competing in Wood Ringette Tournament held in Edmonton during November 23 to 25. The Flames were very strong in each of the four round robin games they played, went undefeated with a record of 3 wins and 1 tie, and finished first in their pool. Although the Flames lost in the gold medal game to a very good team from Calgary, they should be proud of how well they played against some of the best teams in Western Canada.
